Subject: Art, 5th grade
Game: Descriptive game with Calder reprints. With a partner each student takes a turn drawing and describing Calder’s sculptures.
Art Experiment: Create a Calder–like sculpture: create basic shapes on one sheet of white tag board. Start with a pencil and draw a variety of shapes on each side. Color with colored pencil. Use mobile armature and attach shapes to clips. Hang mobile from ceiling.
Extension: Basic shapes may also be made with tissue paper. Use thin Modge Podge and overlap the tissue paper- cover one side, do the other side next week.
Extension: Could have students do two shapes and pick the one they like best for mobile. Use two dowel rods and have students help each other to balance mobile elements.
